London Program Manual London Program Manual Congratulations on your decision to participate in Pepperdine University’s London Program! This program manual contains information specific to the London Program. You have also been given the International Programs’ Student Handbook with information, rules and regulations for all International Program participants. We expect you to read all information provided in both handbooks carefully. This program manual provides you with the most updated information and advice available at the time of printing. Changes may occur before your departure or while you are abroad. Your flexibility and willingness to adjust to these changes as they occur will help you in having the best study-abroad experience possible. Our handbooks are revised annually by International Programs in Malibu. Your comments and suggestions for next year’s handbook are welcome. Please direct them to the International Programs Department in Malibu. One of the best ways to prepare for study abroad is to learn as much as possible prior to departure about your program’s host country as well as the countries you will visit. Please visit the International Programs website, talk with faculty and program alumni, visit the suggested websites included in this program manual, and consult books about the area. Your flexibility in adjusting to unanticipated situations and cultural differences will determine, in great part, the kind of experience you will have while abroad. We wish you a successful and rewarding study-abroad experience! 1 (Version Update: 07.21.15) Introduction

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY General Fund Revenue Position 1.1. The overall position on services is a small overspend of £143,000 (including Grenfell). In addition, there is an underspend of £10.4m on corporate items, of which £3.8m is due to the full implementation of the Treasury Management Strategy and increased investment income which has been reported for most of the year. This is a one-off underspend and budgets have been adjusted for 2020/21. The remainder relates to the corporate contingency and the provision set aside for the pension fund liability which has not been required during the year. Further details are set out in paragraph 5.2. 1.2. After the proposed transfer of the £11.3m to earmarked reserves, the Council will maintain its General Fund working balance at £10m. This £10m is in line with what is agreed in the Council’s Medium-Term Financial Strategy and reserves policy. General Fund Capital Programme 1.3. The total original General Fund Capital Programme budget in 2019/20, including budget carried forward from the 2018/19 was £163.066m. During the first three quarters of the year, there was a total variance of £91.249m giving a current budget of £71.817m.

  • Remembering Rembrandt
    For Immediate Release 13 February 2006 Contact: Hannah Schmidt 020.7389.2964 [email protected] Remembering Rembrandt ... CHRISTIE’S CELEBRATES REMBRANDT’S 400TH ANNIVERSARY Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints Wednesday, 29 March 2006 Christie’s London London – On July 15, 1606, one of the world’s most versatile, innovative, and influential artists Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1606-1669) was born in Leiden. Four hundred years later, Christie’s joins the celebrations of the anniversary of the master’s birth. An important group of fifty-five etchings by the artist from the collection of Dutch industrialist and patron, G.A.H. Buisman Jzn. will be offered alongside the 29 March sale of Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints in London. “This superb private collection lends a fascinating insight into the technique and mastery of the artist’s graphic oeuvre and with estimates starting at just £1,500 offers an excellent opportunity to collect an original by this famous artist in his 400th anniversary year,” said Richard Lloyd, Head of Christie’s Print Department. Rembrandt was a multi-talented artist, acquiring international fame not only as painter and draughtsman but also for his graphic works. He explored different forms, styles and subjects throughout his artistic life, with his first etching dating to circa 1626 and his last from 1665. The strength of his reputation as one of the most important graphic artists remains to this day. The collection to be sold at Christie’s reflects the broad range of subjects that Rembrandt addressed from portraits, and self-portraits, to landscapes, allegorical scenes, mythological and biblical stories as well as animal studies.

  • The Print Legacy of Albrecht Dürer, a Renaissance Man
    For Immediate Release Monday, 22 October 2007 Contact: Hannah Schmidt +44 (0) 207 389 2964 [email protected] THE PRINT LEGACY OF ALBRECHT DÜRER, A RENAISSANCE MAN The Genius of the German Renaissance: Prints by Albrecht Dürer Christie’s London Tuesday, 4 December 2007 at 2pm London – Print sales in 2007 will culminate with a flourish at Christie’s in December with The Genius of the German Renaissance: Prints by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) on Tuesday, 4 December 2007. This auction provides an extraordinary insight into Dürer's powerful graphic oeuvre, with 130 lots spanning allegorical scenes, mythological and biblical stories. Highlights from the sale include Dürer’s key works led by Death, Knight and the Devil, 1513 (estimate: £200,000-300,000) illustrated left and his four main series The Apocalypse, 1496-1511 (estimate: £80,000-120,000), The Large Passion, circa 1496-1511 (estimate: £80,000-120,000), The Life of the Virgin, circa 1502-1510 (estimate: £80,000-120,000) and The Small woodcut Passion, circa 1508-1510 (estimate: £30,000-40,000).With estimates ranging from £2,000 to £300,000, the sale is expected to realise in excess of £2 million. Albrecht Dürer carried the medium of prints to revolutionary new heights artistically, technically and as a means of self publicity. Hailed by the British museum as the ‘first truly international artist,’ his work is so highly revered that Germans refer to the turn of the 16th century as ‘the age of Dürer’. Having learnt the importance of precision, exemplified in A Coat of Arms with a Skull, 1503 illustrated right (estimate: £50,000-70,000), whilst a young apprentice at his father’s Goldsmiths, Dürer went on to learn printmaking from the leading Nuremberg artist Michael Wolgemut.

  • The Kensington District
    The Kensington District By G. E. Mitton The Kensington District When people speak of Kensington they generally mean a very small area lying north and south of the High Street; to this some might add South Kensington, the district bordering on the Cromwell and Brompton Roads, and possibly a few would remember to mention West Kensington as a far- away place, where there is an entrance to the Earl's Court Exhibition. But Kensington as a borough is both more and less than the above. It does not include all West Kensington, nor even the whole of Kensington Gardens, but it stretches up to Kensal Green on the north, taking in the cemetery, which is its extreme northerly limit. If we draw a somewhat wavering line from the west side of the cemetery, leaving outside the Roman Catholic cemetery, and continue from here to Uxbridge Road Station, thence to Addison Road Station, and thence again through West Brompton to Chelsea Station, we shall have traced roughly the western boundary of the borough. It covers an immense area, and it begins and ends in a cemetery, for at the south-western corner is the West London, locally known as the Brompton, Cemetery. In shape the borough is strikingly like a man's leg and foot in a top-boot. The western line already traced is the back of the leg, the Brompton Cemetery is the heel, the sole extends from here up Fulham Road and Walton Street, and ends at Hooper's Court, west of Sloane Street. This, it is true, makes a very much more pointed toe than is usual in a man's boot, for the line turns back immediately down the Brompton Road.
